September Sweet Song
September Sweet Song
Climb the Mountain
Check the Sky
Stretch to the Heavens
Bend to the Earth
Close your eyes

Moose Family
Looks like the baby moose found his mama. The last few days in Anchorage have been beautiful and I've enjoyed the sun and colors of fall. Being back in Alaska since my adventure east seeing my family has been telling. I went to Portland, Oregon, New Jersey and New York. When I got off the plane at the Ted Stevens Airport in the wee hours, I smelled the fresh air and knew again how wonderful Alaska is. I've felt heart ache and pain here, but I've never felt more alive and connected with my true self. I don't know what will happen or exactly how I'll make my way, but I continue to trust it shall be revealed.

Moose Nation
The term moose comes from an Algonquian word meaning "eater of twigs". I encountered this moose yesterday morning. I was on my first hike back in AK, when this baby came out of no where running. He was crying. I figured he was lost from his Mommy. Poor baby. He was fast and upset. I thought he was going to charge me. I said, "Go on and find your Mama!' He whimpered and took off.

East Coast
Autumn in New York and New Jersey is crisp and lovely. I've been treated to all the bounty of the East Coast. I float in my Jeep and listen to the new Dylan record. Goodness and fun abound. I kiss my Grand Children and hug my daughter and son who are parents now and have a full grasp on their lives. I'm lucky. I study the magic healing arts. I write my book about the 'Reluctant Shaman' and find that my dreams and visions lead me to the source.

Seward Boat Ride
It rained all day in Seward. We went to Thorn's Showcase Lounge and The Yukon Bar. Both were filled with Alaskan charm and characters. Colin Brown and I had a great day driving south and taking the cruise on the Fjord. We saw otters, goats, seals, sea lions, eagles, jelly fish and waterfalls. The color of the water in Resurrection Bay is a gorgeous green. Loved the rush of the sea air and big waves.

Raven Circle
A new poem I wrote:
Raven Circle
I saw the mask in my dream
death was there warning me
flipping images of heaven and hell
Moving on
I'm in your town
our love brought me here
Autumn's come
but not fear
The road ahead
I walk alone
in my heart I'm fully prepared
to sit at the throne
unknown to me
I brought the snake to my bed
He told me again
I'm a bad seed
I wish I was dead
With face and his sweetness
lips, thighs and touch
the spirit in his body
is all too much
The bravery, the lesson
I force myself to see
no one has the answer
It's love inside me
I raise the level
sweeten the pot
it's not luck I'm hot
Connected to God
the message comes through me
I smile today
and sing my songs
strumming the strings
I don't long for what's lost
evertyhing is everything

Peaceful Process
My writing, my practice and my healing is filling my time. The days grow shorter and my decision to stay in Alaska for another winter settles in to reality. I get small waves of excitment (or fear). I trust I'll find my way. So far, so good. When I stay in the moment, my heart stops hurting and I'm grateful for the gifts of the spirit. The journey in yoga, writing a novel and beginning a new part of my life has brought me to a deeper understanding of my body, my creative process and innovative ways to make a living. Must be the season of the witch.

September Song
The following is a new song I wrote. It's a country song. I've been practicing on the guitar between edits and writing. It's supposed to be sad and funny. Tell me what you think.
I Wanted To Kill You
I wanted to kill you I wanted to die
I wanted to kill you I wanted to die
I wanted to kill you I wanted to die
But I kept on breathing
till I started to cry
Life had no meaning as my tear drops fell
Life had no meaning as my tear drops fell
Life had no meaning as my tear drops fell
You don’t love me baby
It’s just living hell
Oh Darling Darling Darling Darling Darlin
Oh Darlin Darlin Darlin Darlin Darlin
All of my heart break and sorrow and pain
All of my heart break and sorrow and pain
All of my heart break and sorrow and pain
Will lead me to something
the Gods have ordained
What’s life without passion without love or fun?
What’s life without passion without love or fun?
What’s life without passion without love or fun?
Who knew I’d go crazy
and buy me a gun?
Oh Darling, Darling, Darling, Darling, Darlin
Oh Darlin, Darlin, Darlin, Darlin, Darlin
I just can’t do it I don’t have the balls
I just can’t do it I don’t have the balls
I just can’t do it I don’t have the balls
But I felt better
when I shot up the wall
I see the light of the mysterious moon
I see the light of the mysterious moon
I see the light of the mysterious moon
I’ll take one more try
at this sweet loving groove
Oh Darling, Darling, Darling, Darling, Darlin
Oh Darling, Darling, Darling, Darling, Darlin
